The cavendish style Virginia is lightly grassy with some citrus. The burley is mildly earthy and nutty sweet as a strong second lead. The black cavendish offers a very mild vanilla. The honey topping is also mild, yet sublimates the tobaccos a little. Has no nicotine to speak of. Burns smooth, cool and clean at a moderate pace with a fairly consistent flavor. The honey does weaken just a little in the last third of the proceedings. Leaves just a little moisture in the bowl, and needs few relights. Has a gentle after taste and room note. An easy going all day smoke that doesn’t have much deepness, but works as a work and play blend.

If you like the flavor of honey, and I do, this may just be the best one I've tried to date. A very nice sweet flavor in every draw from beginning to end. A mild sweetness without trying too hard. You still get a nice tobacco transition that isn't totally overpowered like you get with some aros. Sutliff hit it the mark with this one. It remains true from the time you light it until the end. If you are looking for a good honey based aro - I'd highly recommend trying it out. I give it four stars based on its genre - honey.

Honestly, this is one I wrote off before I ever gave it a fair chance...not a heavy aro smoker, and many Sutliff aros just don't do it for me. But I waited to review, and coming back to it 2 oz. in, must say that I'm impressed. Quite impressed, enough so that this may make it into permanent rotation as an occasional sweet tooth craving.

Bag note is heavy honey aroma supported by loads of brown sugar. Love that you can pick out the honey scent so well! I can't help but associate the aroma with Molto Dolce, likely because MD contains the same honey topping used here. Or they may use this stuff as a base for MD, I don't know. At any rate, it's a lovely aroma. Moisture content, while expectedly quite moist, is much lower than some of the other goopier Sutliffs. And it lights/burns perfectly right out of the bag anyway. Billowy, creamy loads of smoke, with tastes reminiscent of honey toast. Delicious in my book, and phenomenal room note! It's like a toned down molto dolce without the baby powder aroma or filmy mouth coating. Had some mild tongue bite now and then, probably more my fault, but all in all, it's a nicely balanced aro at an excellent price point. I'd give it 3.5 on an aromatic weighted scale.

It's a coarse ribbon, with a smell that's easy to recognise as being honey. My pouch was a touch too wet, but still smokeable straight away.

I find it a little stronger with added flavouring than the other reviews to date. Sweet, that's the word to describe this smoke; with that in mind, it would make a good dessert smoke. The flavour's prominently honey alone until a third of the way in, this is where the tobaccos begin to come through; Cavendish and Burley, but hardly any Virginia. The burn from #206 is good and the smoke's quite thick, but I do get a bit of tongue bite which lessens the fun.

The room-note's good, and the nicotine's very mild.

If it weren't for the bite I'd highly recommend #206, but because of that I'll just recommend it:
